Peaceful lakeside camping and recreation on beautiful Campbell Lake
Loveland Bay Provincial Park offers a tranquil escape on the shores of Campbell Lake, one of Vancouver Island's premier freshwater recreation destinations. This scenic park combines peaceful lakeside camping with excellent opportunities for water-based activities and forest exploration.
Campbell Lake stretches for miles through the coastal mountains, providing a stunning backdrop of forested hills and distant peaks. The clear, warm waters are perfect for swimming, fishing, and boating, while the surrounding old-growth and second-growth forests offer habitat for diverse wildlife.
The park serves as an excellent base for exploring the greater Campbell River area, with easy access to other attractions including Elk Falls, Strathcona Park, and the many recreational opportunities that make this region famous among outdoor enthusiasts.
